Zhou Yi organized the Pistons' offense, and he was in the backcourt with him. Tracy McGrady. McDilla went to the outside to catch the ball, then grabbed the ball with one hand, with a sharp look covering the whole game. Harden had already touched up, half-squatted, and made a defensive posture. Suddenly, McDie took a step and instantly blocked Harden behind him, and then stopped and jumped. The ball flew in the air with a very low arc. If someone else shot this kind of ball, then 80% would not go in. But for McDie, this kind of ball was his specialty. Therefore, with a "swish", the basketball came into the net.

Harden twitched a few slightest eyes, and said helplessly: "Although T-MAC is no longer used as it used to be back then, his talent and experience are incomparable to most people. He just passed me through one step, and it seems that he can't be careless at all."

Westbrook glanced at the Chinese boy who was defending himself in front of him, without a slacking expression on his face, only his concentration and strong fighting spirit.

Before the game started, Brooks called Westbrook to his side and told him to beware of a Chinese player named Zhou Yi. Although Westbrook didn't know much about Zhou Yi, he immediately took it seriously after receiving Brooks' warning. Westbrook only had a little understanding of Zhou Yi, and this was something that a teammate around him talked about inadvertently during yesterday's training. The Thunder player who talked about Zhou Yi was Nenard who was resting on the bench-

Costic, in fact, Costic also doesn't know much about Zhou Yi, but it was because Zhou Yi dunked Brooke Lopez in the game against the Nets. As a center, Kostic learned about it, he learned about Zhou Yi as a Chinese player. Most NBA players also learned through this incident that another Chinese player appeared in the NBA, named Zhou Yi. It can be said that after fighting with the Nets, especially the feat of dunking Lopez, Zhou Yi's reputation in the NBA quickly spread.

Later, when the training was about to end, Brooks played the game between the Pistons and the Nets in the locker room, so Westbrook had a clear understanding of Zhou Yi. To be precise, he had a certain understanding of Zhou Yi's playing style and skills.

Westbrook turned around and passed Zhou Yi after a cross step, and passed the ball to Harden. After receiving the ball, Harden cut into a throw from the middle and scored the ball.

On the Pistons, Zhou Yi dribbled the ball under his crotch and suddenly a Crossover shook away Westbrook's defense and jumped up from the wing into the basket. Ibaka quickly jumped up to try to block. However, Zhou Yi did not make a layup or dunk. Facing Ibaka's backup defense, Zhou Yi handed the ball to Hansblu behind Ibaka in a flash. After receiving the ball, Hansblu decisively rose from the ground and dunked it, looking extremely relaxed.

"This kid is not simple." Westbrook said calmly.

Zhou Yi obviously didn't hear Westbrook's comments, and even if he heard Zhou Yi, he would just laugh it off. Westbrook broke through with the ball, and turned around and waved past Zhou Yi, but at the moment he turned around, he was cut off by McGrady who was sneaking off from the side. McGrady quickly launched a fast attack, but only Zhou Yi was following. Westbrook's reaction was also very fast and he quickly returned to defense. McGrady passed the ball to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi drove it twice and gave it to McGrady again. When he reached the basket, McGrady made a shooting move, but it was actually a passing pass.

The ball was given to Zhou Yi, but Westbrook was not fooled, but hit Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi did not get the ball, but moved the ball to the upper right of the basket with his hand. Westbrook secretly shouted and hurriedly turned to defend McGrady. But it was too late, McGrady quickly jumped up and scored an all-out layup. Not only that, Westbrook also gave a defensive foul. This series of dazzling passes immediately won loud cheers from all the fans of the court. The two commentators also praised Zhou Yi and McGrady's cooperation.

Scott Brooks took advantage of McGrady's free throw to replace Westbrook with Eric Meno, and Dai Quinn Cook replaced Durant. The Pistons' lineup also changed slightly, Dayer replaced Prince for the game.

McGrady made a free throw and made a free throw. At this moment, the opponent of Zhou Yi is Eric Meno, who dribbles and organizes the Thunder's offense.

Eric Meno forced his breakthrough through Zhou Yi, who was close to the former's defense. Meno found that the Chinese boy in front of him was extremely difficult to break through, so he passed the ball without hesitation. After receiving the ball, Dai Quinn Cook flew and jumped into the ball. With a "bang", the basketball bounced out. Hansblu fought to grab the backcourt rebound and quickly handed it to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi went down all the way and rushed into the opponent's three-second zone without any resistance. He tricked Ibaka into provoking it and then made a jump shot. However, he missed the shot, Ibaka easily took the backcourt rebound.

Meno used Harden's pick-and-roll to break through to the inside of the Pistons, and then passed the ball to Harden on the other side of the outside line. Harden made a three-pointer and hit. Harden was a left-handed player, and his shooting movement was considered very similar to "God's left hand" Chris Mullin.

Zhou Yi slowed down and stabilized the rhythm. When he arrived near the midfield, Zhou Yi glanced at the timer, and there were 23 seconds left in the first quarter. Zhou Yi used the ball and slowly spent time. When there were 10 seconds left, Zhou Yi moved. He quickly broke through, then turned around, passed Meno who was defending him, and rushed to the basket. Facing the opponent's interception, Zhou Yi was not afraid. With a trembling wrist, the basketball flew towards Daye, who had already ambushed outside the zero-angle three-point line. Daye did not adjust after receiving the ball, and took action directly, and with a "swish", he led a circle of the Nets.

"Beautiful assist." One of the commentators said with a smile.

"Well, Zhou's pass didn't have any fancy moves, but it was extremely practical." Another commentator replied.

With 1.5 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Meno received the serve at the bottom line and threw the ball directly at the opponent's basket, but it was a three-way match, and the whistle sounded, and the first quarter ended.

Both sides had high shooting percentages in the first quarter, so the score was relatively high. 36:31, the Thunder led by 5 points.

Zhou Yi walked back to the bench and took the towel and drink handed over by Bynum, smiled slightly and unscrewed the bottle cap, and started drinking. After drinking, Zhou Yi wiped the sweat from his face and sat down next to Bynum.

"It's hard for Russell to let go, right?" Bynum did not look like he was laughing before, but instead looked solemn.

Zhou Yi nodded and replied: "Well, he is very strong, both offense and defense. I think, looking at the entire league, Russell Westbrook can rank in the top ten in the point guard position."

Bynum nodded in agreement with Zhou Yi's point of view.

At this time, Kuster walked to Zhou Yi and the others and said seriously: "About the tactical issues of this game, I have already said before. We should focus on the inside and play positional battles. But you two forgot what I said during the game and did not do exactly what I said. Next, you two must pay attention to this."

Listening to Custer's serious and unrefutable words, Bynum and the other nodded at the same time.

Then Kuster warned all the Pistons players seriously: "In this game, we must guard against the outside and play inside. Do you understand?"

"clear."
